Chapter 41: "The Choice"

"They're asking for you," Christopher's voice echoed through the Academy's emergency bunker. "All of them."Penelope watched the monitors showing millions of evolved humans hovering above cities worldwide, connected in a massive neural network."Of course they are," she exhaled. "Because this was always the plan."Sarah burst through the door. "Marcus and Diana are gone.""Gone where?""Up there," Sarah pointed to the screens. "They've joined the collective."Emma floated outside the bunker's reinforced windows. "Professor Knight. The time has come.""For what, Emma?""To shed our limitations. To become infinite."Ashlyn checked the readings. "The network's energy signature is off the charts. It's like they're building something.""Not building," Jonathan's voice crackled through comms. "Becoming."Through the windows, they watched as evolved humans began to pulse with synchronized light, their bodies transforming further."What are they becoming?" Christopher wondered.Emma's voice r

Chapter 44: Act 2: Alexander's Story

It is intensely warm under the harsh glare of the high noon sun as a male security guard stands before the large gate of Styleon Group's building. This man currently had a deeply worried look on his face as he held an outdated phone to his ear with a shaky hand."Mr. Cross, can you hear me?" A feminine voice could be heard over the phone. "You need to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Your daughter has been transferred to the emergency room again."Alexander Cross forced down his rising fear and he tried not to get too emotional. "Doctor, what are you saying?! You said Kelsey's heart problem would take, at least, two more months before she could possibly face another issue.""Mr. Cross, I know what I said, but these things can't be fully guaranteed. I never expected your daughter's body to suddenly reject our treatment." The doctor sighed. "Listen, Mr. Alexander, just get here as fast as you can." The call was immediately ended.Alexander's breath picked up in panic and he imme

Chapter 45: Young Master

“Young Master Cross, what is going on?” The old man’s voice was laced with curiosity. “After you left home those years ago, you never contacted the family. You’ve even managed to avoid our search for you. Now, you’re suddenly calling and asking not to let your father find out about this call. Sir, have you forgotten that your father is my master, the family’s patriarch?” Alexander sighed. “I understand that I’m putting you into a tough spot by asking for your discretion, but I insist.”The old man contemplated for a moment. “Very well, Young Master. Your wish is my command. Now, how can I help you?” “I need $300,000 as soon as possible. In fact, I want it by today. Could you make that possible?” Alexander wasted no time.“That’s it?” The old man’s voice now held incredulity. “Young Master Cross, you belong to a family who owns and controls a global amalgamation of conglomerates worth trillions of dollars. Getting you the $300,000 is nothing, but there is a condition to this.”“What

Chapter 46: Sharp Looking

While the two women and one man were publicly humiliating Alexander, a sharp-looking middle-aged woman got out of one of the 'VIP only' elevators and walked towards the male receptionist to whom Alexander had shown the unique card. They whispered back and forth for a brief moment before the secretary's gaze turned to the group of laughing women and the man with a stoic face.Fiona was the first to notice the secretary’s presence and she immediately called her daughter’s attention. “Lesley, look! Someone from the CEO’s floor is here.” She tried to be as outwardly calm as possible while her heart began racing.“Oh my goodness! They must have reconsidered your business proposal and sent her here to inform us.” Lesley turned to Lucas. “Your father’s influence must have worked after all. I’m so glad we brought you with us.”Lucas smoothed his hair with a prideful smirk. “I told you.”Alexander followed his in-laws’ gazes to find who they were looking at. He quickly recognized the sharp-loo

Chapter 47: Pissed Off

"Get lost!" A pissed-off Alexander finally shut the door elevator on Edmund's face. He finally got rid of the bastard. Alexander had always known that the sales director had coveted his wife ever since she joined the company. He just wished Lola could see things clearly for what they truly are.“Alexander, where did you get the money from?” Lola suddenly looked at her husband with a worried gaze. "Did you steal it from somewhere?" Her eyes suddenly widened as a realization crossed her mind. “Oh my god! Please, tell me you didn’t borrow this from a loan shark?”Alexander couldn't believe the words that were coming out of his wife's mouth. How could she suddenly think the worst of him? Did she really think there was no legal way he could have gotten his daughter's hospital bill? Seeing how his wife was treating him like a stranger while praising Edmund left Alexander deeply hurt. “My goodness! Alexander, answer me!” Lola began tearing up as she pointed an accusing finger at him. “Have

Chapter 48: Dragged Building

Alexander was dragged out of the building. On the way out, the numerous security men laughed as they punched and kicked him while holding him down forcefully. Finally, they almost stripped him naked as they tore his uniform off his body. Alexander looked down at his tattered uniform in anger and frustration. “How could you guys do this to me?” Alexander coldly gazed at the mocking faces of the security men in front of him. “We’ve worked together as coworkers for years, and now, you guys are treating me like your worst enemy.”The security men glanced at each other and they burst into laughter. “Shut up, and quit asking such a stupid question.” One of the older security men got angry and kicked Alexander in the chest, watching him fall to the ground. “Ever since you started working here, none of the female cleaners in this organization has paid any attention to us.” He pointed an accusing hand at Alexander. “To them, our looks couldn’t hold a single candle to yours.”Alexander sudde

Chapter 49: Colder Level

The audience was beyond stunned by Fisher's actions and words. They began whispering to each other, wondering what was happening.“What?!” Edmund’s body froze as his eyes widened. “Mr. Fisher, do you realize what you’re asking of me?”“And I won’t ask twice.” Fisher’s voice dropped to a much colder level, clarifying that this was a threat. “Apologize to Mr. Alexander Cross right now, or lose everything.” He pushed the sales director a few steps back, releasing his collar in the process.Fear spread on Edmund's face and he could tell that his superior was dead serious. He couldn't help but wonder why Fisher was suddenly on Alexander's side. After a few seconds, a thought crossed his mind. Alexander must have offered his gorgeous wife to Fisher, and now, the general manager had become Alexander's willing puppet.“That whore.” Edmund muttered under his breath as he cursed at Lola Blaine. Everyone watched as Edmund slowly turned towards Alexander. “I…am sorry.” He spoke with a tight voic

Chapter 50: Wave of Guilt

Alexander stood by the entrance in silence as he stared at his wife’s face before moving to Kelsey, his little daughter. The weak-looking child had a tube down her throat and an oxygen mask on her face. She was still attached to a machine to keep her body system functioning.Lola glared at Alexander. “Didn’t you hear me? Why did you take so long? You only went to submit your letter of resignation, didn’t you?”Alexander wondered how Lola knew about his resignation, as he had only told her that he needed to go back to the company to resume his work.Lola noticed the inquisitive expression on Alexander's face. "My coworkers at the office told me." She looked down at her phone in confusion. "Though, they later bombarded my phone with calls, and I would have answered it if my phone didn't suddenly run out of battery."If she had picked up one of those calls, she would have found out about how her closest superior, Edmund Porsche, had been ridiculed by the general manager and forced to bow
